One more week and I shall never work in pizza again. While that is terribly exciting, I am totally exhausted.
The walk-in didn't get fixed until almost 2pm on Saturday, so I worked from 2–5pm. I spent today doing catch up—15 batches and I'm still not done. Hopefully, I'll get caught up tomorrow. If I don't, I really don't care! Once again, a little routine maintenance of cleaning the flour dust and crap off and there wouldn't have been a problem. Morons. What's even more stupid is they noticed that the dough was proofing faster and nobody bothered to mention anything about it to me. They just assumed I had changed the way I was making dough. I always leave notes when I do anything out of the ordinary! Losers. Now the walk-in door isn't closing properly. Oh, well. Soon it won't be my problem anymore.
They've hired my replacement. The poor guy is only going to be making $8.50/hr (that's less than half of what I was making) and they're heaping ALL of the prep work, including cleaning, on him. They also expect him to be the 2nd insider during the day (he'll have to answer phones and make pizzas) and get all the prep done in 4 hours. HA! They are keeping it a 7-day-a-week job, as well. I don't know how they expect the poor guy to get two days' worth of dough done to take a day off when they're giving him all that extra crap to do. Oh, well—not my problem, right?
It'll be nice not to waste my weekends sleeping. That's what I did today—caught up my sleep. I had planned on going biking today, but the wind was blowing something fierce when I got off work. I will also get to cook dinner for Marcus every night. I miss cooking on a regular basis. I haven't made many meals in the last year because it was time to go to bed when Marcus got home from work. I'll be home an hour to and hour and a half before he gets home every night. Yay!!!!! Maybe I can keep up on my housework, too. I am so looking forward to having a "normal" schedule. It's been a really, really long time since I had only an 8–5 type of job. I know I plan on doing some freelance work to bring in some extra cash, but that won't be an everyday-have-to-do-it-now type of job.
Today I read the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia that I received for Christmas. I thought I had read those when I was in elementary school, but apparently not. I didn't remember the story at all. Maybe I saw a movie or something when I was younger. I want to finish the books before I see the movie. Since I'll wait until it comes out on DVD, I'll probably make it!
I put a CD up for sale on eBay and this Highlands Ranch bitch won my auction on December 31, but hasn't paid for it. I was worried when her feedback was only a 1 and she had a negative. Turns out she bought the same CD from somebody else before my auction even ended. She didn't have the class to retract her bid from my auction or even email me when I invoiced her that she had no intent to pay because she had bought one already. I sent another email explicitly asking her to inform me if she had no intent to pay so that I could relist then instead of waiting the 10 days I stipulated in my auction and she is totally ignoring me. I am so mad. Now I have to do the whole non-paying bidder, give her negative feedback and hope she doesn't retaliate and ruin my perfect 100% feedback score. I can't even do a 2nd chance offer to the other bidder, because he also bought the CD already. Why do some people have absolutely no class?
Did you guys see The Office on Thursday? I laughed my ass off when Dwight found his stuff in the vending machine. Then the alcoholic chick (Meredith?) had her shirt off AGAIN. Too funny. Man, I LOVE THAT SHOW.
I think Starting Over is new tomorrow. This season is not really growing on me. Allison is bugging the crap out of me. You'd think as long as she's been there, she'd have gotten it by now. I guess not. Oh, well. Supposedly she "graduates" tomorrow and maybe they'll get somebody on there that will make some progress. Thank goodness for PVRs or I'd have totally dumped that show this year.
Looks like the Denver Broncos will be playing the New England Patriots this Saturday for the first playoff game at Invesco Field. GO BRONCOS! I hope people order a lot of pizza and make my last paycheck respectable.
OK, I'm going to wrap this up and go watch an episode of the british The Office before heading off to bed. Since I probably won't have time to write, I hope everybody has an awesome week.

Do we have to find our home a new spot? Are they going to raise lot rents even more than the ridicuous amount they already are? Are the new owners going to be @ssholes and nitpick every little rule infraction? Are they going to harrass everybody until we get fed up and leave so they sell this land for huge profits because of the Fitzsimons redevelopment? Do they plan on filling all the empty spots with really low class, trashy people? I hate that kind of limbo. Feeling a little unsettled at the moment. Grrrrr.
